I cannot believe anybody watches this shit.

Gotta say, none of these sound very good.

Cute Girls Talking About BJs: the Series

As horrendous a human being as Schaeffer seems to be, at least you have to give him credit for owning his loathsomeness.

I still stand behind my modest enjoyment of Prometheus.

Yeah, it was a solid read. He's been on a good run recently, that's why I'm cautiously optimistic about Doctor Sleep.

Angela Lansbury was younger than Laurence Harvey in The Manchurian Candidate, if I'm not mistaken.

This "I don't understand the smart phones and the Twittering and the Facebags!" thing is already well past its expiration date, and yet I fear it's going to continue being trotted out as a lazy plot device in movies and TV shows for another ten years or so.

Bryan Ferry's jazzy remake of "Love is the Drug" is pretty excellent too. I'm glad they got him to do it rather than having someone else cover it.

Michelle is somewhere in the middle, and that's likely why she won.…

Despite the show itself becoming a bit of a pop culture joke, the finale of The Golden Girls was surprisingly moving as well. I always got the impression that, even though they all supposedly hated each other by the time the show ended, the emotions they expressed at the very end were authentic.

Oh, that reminds me of another great movie ending involving the Angel of Death, All That Jazz.
